Chapter 142: Governing the Family

Qiu Yue and the others, who found benches, ropes, and boards, imposed lynching on the slaves and maids who committed crimes in the north courtyard. The first person to be beaten was the steward cuckoo, and the next were the three slaves who had sneered at Lin Ruoxi behind their backs, and the last one was to join in the fun. Soon, the women's cries and begs for mercy resounded one after another in the north courtyard.

Due to the small strength of Qiu Yue and the others, the damage caused by the board that actually hit their buttocks was only a skin surface injury, and it would not hurt the muscles and bones, resulting in cripplement. Su Meiniang, who watched her slaves and maids being beaten, was so angry that her face turned pale. She seems to be a little powerless, knowing that things have developed to this point, and there is really no turning back.

After Du Juan and the others were all beaten, Su Meiniang led them out of the North Courtyard. Supporting each other, they limped behind her with tears on their faces and moaned, returning to the east courtyard. The unwilling cuckoo, with the support of a little maid, hurried to see his master, and said angrily with tears on his face: "They are beating us there, and they are clearly beating you, master!" ”

Su Meiniang, who grabbed the tea cup from the coffee table casually, was angry and threw it to the ground. There was a "bang" sound, and the broken porcelain pieces were splashed with tea. With an angry face on her face, she sharply accused: "You don't tell the old lady about this." No matter what Lin Ruoxi is, she is your master, and she is what you can do. ”

Su Meiniang was so angry that she stomped back and forth, and vented her inner dissatisfaction: "You didn't manage the people below well, and you chewed your tongue indiscriminately, so you provoked today's incident." caused the old lady not only to lose face in the north courtyard, but also to make the old man misunderstand me. If the old lady is unlucky, you don't want to have a comfortable life. Until now, the old lady has not figured out how to explain to the master? ”

Knowing that he was a cuckoo who had stabbed a hornet's nest, he was so frightened that he forgot the pain and knelt on the ground on his knees, trembling and saying: "It's all the slave's fault, and they fell for it because they listened to and believed it." Grandma's lesson is that the slave maid really didn't manage the people below well. From now on, the slave and maid will surely remember your teachings. I hope you will stop your anger and don't hurt your body. If not, the slave and maid will be to blame for their death. ”

Su Meiniang, who knew it in her heart, was a lot more comfortable when she vented, and her tone softened a lot: "Get up, you can't be blamed for this." Today, you are not lightly wounded, go back and lie down. ”

With the support of the little maid, the cuckoo, who slowly stood up, was most worried that her steward position would not be cut off by her, so the big stone that was pressed fell to the ground. She was hurt on her body, although she turned around slowly, but her heart was much faster and easier.

Seeing Su Meiniang, who was helped out of the cuckoo, she knew that this matter could not be delayed, so she went to the study alone to see Li Wenxuan. Sitting on the circle chair, he saw her unhappy, and instead of comforting her, he asked directly: "Everything has been dealt with?" ”

Su Meiniang, who understood what he was asking, replied cautiously: "It's been dealt with." The slaves and maids who committed the crime all passed the board. The slave family was originally going to beat each of them with ten boards as punishment, and the North Court meant to add ten boards on top of this one. Hey, it's because the slave family is not strict in governing the family that it caused today's incident. ”

Li Wenxuan, who smiled coldly, tasted the meaning of her words, and raised his head and said, "I thought you were good enough, but I didn't expect Ruoxi to be even more powerful than you." Tell me, what's going on with the whole thing? ”

Su Meiniang, who didn't add oil and vinegar, told him carefully and carefully. After listening to what she said, Li Wenxuan really didn't sympathize with the beaten slaves and maids at all, but felt that they deserved such punishment. Knowing that they have broken mouths, the most unhappy thing to see is the restlessness in his backyard.

"According to what you said, I know that you not only lost face in the North Courtyard, but also suffered a little anger." Li Wenxuan, who stood up from the seat, said impartially: "Even if they are at fault, it should be up to you to deal with them." Ruoxi let the slaves and maids around her beat them, but she really didn't save face for you, and she went too far. ”

Su Meiniang, who felt that his grievances were understood by him, her eyes were red, and her voice was choked: "Who called the slave family a concubine, and she is a wife?" She wants to call the shots, and that's right. Even if she wanted to teach the slave family a lesson, there was nothing to say. ”

Li Wenxuan, who walked to her side, smiled faintly and said, "Don't talk angry." You know, I have put all the power of this family in your hands. As for this, you can think about it from a different perspective. It's just that you're the one who is the one who is the sister, and the one who is the one who is the sister is willful. ”

Su Meiniang, who twisted her body, felt sorry for herself and said: "I know that you will protect her, and the slave family is no one who hurts and loves." ”

"How old a person is, he still makes a small character." Li Wenxuan, who pulled her into his arms, kissed her fragrant hair, and comforted: "You are all the same in my heart, there is no difference between high and low." If you still feel unhappy in your heart, then I will accompany you more in the next few days. ”

Su Meiniang, whose face was swept away by the haze, waited for his words. I know that although he says that he treats everyone equally, in fact it is not possible at all. As for who he favors more, Su Meiniang has more or less a number in her heart. The more times Li Wenxuan went to her room to spend the night, the more solid her position became, and by the way, some snobbish slaves and maids in the family knew that they should not secretly make small calculations to climb the high branches of the North Courtyard.

Li Wenxuan, who had been with him for a while, slowly let go of his hand, and said intentionally with a smile: "Now, you should not be angry." There should be no night feud between sisters, after all, everyone lives under the same roof. ”

Su Meiniang, who understood what he meant, pursed her lips and said incorrectly: "The slave family really wants to tell right and wrong, wantonly revenge and speak ill of her, so they won't tell the truth." Since the slave family didn't do that, it means that they didn't go to their hearts. ”

"Mei Niang is generous, it's my villain." Li Wenxuan, who felt that he wished it was so, praised him.

Su Meiniang, who covered her mouth and smiled, deliberately wanted to weaken the strength of the North Courtyard, and made a suggestion: "Since she married into the Li family, then she is a member of the Li family." Even if the slaves and maids in the North Courtyard were all brought by her, it should be under unified management. If she is always independent, it is really not good. ”

Seeing that the population of the house was getting more and more Li Wenxuan, he didn't want to see Lin Ruoxi specialize in his heart. If the north courtyard of his house is all people brought by Lin Ruoxi from his mother's house, then it will inevitably cause a certain antagonism in the house. If this day goes on, the people of the North Courtyard will definitely be pampered and arrogant, and will not obey the arrangements and management of other people in the palace.

Li Wenxuan, who wiped his chin, just wanted to solve this problem when Lin Ruoxi walked in from outside. After all, she let the people around her beat so many slaves and maids on Su Meiniang's side in her yard, and she had to come and inform him. I don't want to be accused of lawlessness or anything like that.

Seeing Li Wenxuan, who had walked in, he smiled and said, "You came just in time." I was just about to send someone to talk to you. ”

Lin Ruoxi, who entered the house, saw that Su Meiniang was also there, and realized that nothing good happened. Li Wenxuan, who didn't plan to talk to them about this serious matter in the study, sent a little maid to invite Zhao Tian'er to the main hall. The three of them sat down one by one, according to the seats they had at the first family meeting.

As for the position of the main wife, no one has to sit on it. There is no shortage of Su Meiniang who wants to sit in her heart, she is self-aware. She knew she would never be able to sit there in her life. Zhao Tian'er, who should have sat there as a matter of course, has always felt very guilty about Lin Ruoxi, so she feels that it is too inappropriate for her to sit there, after all, it has a sense of provocation and declaration of war.

I felt that Lin Ruoxi, who was supposed to sit in that position, didn't sit because he didn't want to provoke too much right and wrong, after all, his identity was a flat wife, not a regular wife. Since Zhao Tianer can be polite to herself, she is also polite to the little girl and gives face.

"I would like to arrange a formal butler in the house. If you have the right person, recommend it to me. Li Wenxuan adopted Su Meiniang's proposal and said: "The slaves, maids, and cooks in the family...... Among them, the people on Ruoxi's side are all arranged and managed by Tian'er. And Mei Niang, Ruoxi assists her in managing family affairs. I saw that Qiuyue's girl was also reliable, so I promoted her to be the housekeeper. ”

Zhao Tianer, who has always been indifferent, has a completely indifferent attitude towards his arrangement and appointment. And Lin Ruoxi, Su Meiniang, is in a different situation. The two knew that Li Wenxuan was the one who not only divided one side of the North Courtyard, but also deliberately promoted Qiu Yue to be the steward, the purpose was to balance the power of the steward Cuckoo, so that the two sides could be balanced.

Qiu Yue, who heard this arrangement, didn't seem happy, and suddenly interjected and said, "Thank you for your kindness." However, the slave is still willing to serve by the young lady's side, after all, she has been by her side since she was a child, and she has never left her side. ”

"Since you don't want to be in charge, then I won't force it. However, you can't continue to stay by Ruoxi's side, after all, you once had a night with me on behalf of your young lady. Li Wenxuan, who has made up his mind, doesn't want to see the ironclad side of the North Courtyard in the future. If he had to crumple his family into a ball, he had to take the people around Lin Ruoxi to open the knife and say, "Then you can come and serve me personally." ”
